Lettering // Maison des Arts

Typography





••••FR••••
Dans le cadre de l'ouverture de la Maison des Arts, un centre culturel à Cergy (France), j'ai été sollicité pour créer 6 oeuvres illustrant des citations d'artistes. Mon choix graphique s'est vite porté sur un travail mêlant  lettering et graffiti. Ces oeuvres sont désormais accrochés dans la Maison des Arts, et ont été déclinés en cartes postales, sur la carte d'adhérent et prochainement sur des tote-bags .

As part of the opening of the House of Arts, a cultural center in Cergy (France). I was asked to create 6 works illustrating quotes from artists. My graphic choice quickly became a mix of lettering and graffiti. Those works are now exposed in the House of Arts and have been reproduced in several variant like postcards, membership cards and soon on tote-bags.





 



"Every century got his art, to art its freedom"
Gustav Klimt







"Cinema is a perfect mix of truth and show"
Francois Truffaut



​​​​​​​



This one is not easily translated because it's based on a french expression but you could imagine something like "To do a hell of a show in theatre means to create a lot of small paradises"
Coluche







"To paint means to think with one's brush"
Paul Cézanne



​​​​​​​



"Dance has nothing more to tell : it has a lot to say"
Maurice Béjart



​​​​​​​



"Music can make men free"
Bob Marley
